Gruden was on Monday night football, russillo hosted the number one sports radio show for more than a decade, and T Bob hosted a Facebook live stream fricked up on local Baton Rouge radio.
One of these is not like the other

think they are conceding that nothing will really work in that TV timeslot and with TV show being bad, may as well go for something that will do numbers on social media or YouTube.
This, FS1 did not get together with barstool because they wanted a successful morning show. If anything, it’s just a bullshite filler because they have no other option. They want the social media content and clicks

People have horrible taste these days. Damn
Which is no surprise, just look where most of them get their "news".

They might get another contributor to join the show when Mike Gundy gets fired tonight for getting blown out at home by Tulsa.

Who the frick wants to see an alcoholic 50 year old creeping around college bookstores?

T Bob had a show with Jim Rome & was popping in on Cowherds show. He was starting to enter the national landscape before joining barstool.
He’s not Bussin with the boys and may never reach that peak but he is more versatile & fits into the daily planning more than they did.

Yeah, not even close. Like in the neighborhood of probably 3% of their q score

Are television ratings even real anymore?

I watched it one day. Boring. Not much chemistry between the guys. They act like they don't care about what their comrades are saying. If they don't care, why should I?

Wake Up Barstool YouTube numbers are significantly better than live numbers. YouTube numbers are well over 20k which is exactly what Fox wants

I like Barstool, mostly PMT but some other content I enjoy, but even with that in mind not a chance I’m watching a morning show.
I see some clips from them on TikTok and I laugh, but again not nearly enough to make me go out of the way to turn on FS1 in the morning to watch.

a morning tv show does not mesh with barstool's (at least as far as sports content goes) demo at all. it's 25-40 year old white guys who have 9-5 jobs.
barstool's top people are so overexposed/satured too. brandon walker has a college football podcast, a daily sports show, the cfb show, another daily youtube show, and now this. big cat has even more than that.

1000x yes. He has to be one of the most annoying people in the world.
I like most of the people I see around. If someone says, hey WEP, what kind of person do you not like?, I’d use that guy as an example.

Brandon Walker is supposed to be a college football expert, but I’d take most of this board over him in terms of college football knowledge.

Did they reuse the set from Best Damn Sports Show Period?
exactly
I hate that set, they are way too far away from the camera. I don’t get a sense any of those guys actually know each other. It seems like a hodgepodge of guys just put together on a TV show.
I think T Bob is pretty good on television but it needs a pretty girl
This kind of show is just on in the background at a barbershop.
No one is actually watching it. That is why the daily heated argument on First Take is so important, the need to catch your attention somehow.

Yeah Get Up is doing recurring bits to generate excitement. This show just looks very low energy with everybody sitting back in a big chair on a dark set.
